3780940 - Field Based Permissions for some Standard Fields are Incorrect in Manage Permission Roles - Compensation

Symptom

Certain standard fields in the FBP can only be configured as View/Read-only. However, when checked in Manage Permission Roles, the displayed FBP does not align correctly.

For example, the Current Position in Range field in the Design Worksheet is restricted to View/Read-only. Yet, when reviewed in the Manage Permission Roles UI (sample: Managers – System Role), it incorrectly appears as View and Edit.

The following standard fields are affected, along with their corresponding column IDs.

Total Target Amount - assignmentTargetAmountTotal
Ind Rating - totalIndividualRating
Assignment Basis - assignmentBasis
Payout Amount - assignmentPayoutAmount
Current Pay Grade - paygrade
Final Salary - finSalary
Target Amount - assignmentTargetAmount
Ind Guideline - totalIndividualGuideline
Current Position in Range - curRangePenetration
Rating - pmRating
Rating - stockPmRating
Final Position in Range - rangePenetration
Business Section Amount - businessSectionAmount
Business Section Multiplied Amount - businessSectionMultipliedAmount
Final Payout - finalPayout
